If you’re like me, and you like honey cakes all year round and not only on Rosh Ha’shana – you’re going to love this cake!

This cinnamon walnut cake is made in one bowl, with no need of an electric mixer or any exotic ingredients. It is so soft, moist and super fragrant (thanks to the added honey inside), and makes a great snack.
